Brownies have to be one of my favourites treats! Particularly when they are soft and gooey on the inside! I wanted to create a brownie recipe that was soft and gooey but also healthier then traditional brownies with more nourishing ingredients. I made these brownies plant based so those with allergies and lifestyle preferences can enjoy them as well.
I added nuts to this recipe as there is great research & evidence for the benefits of nuts & heart health. Did you know that a handful of nuts (30g) every day can reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular disease by more than 20% and coronary heart disease by nearly 30%. Regularly eating nuts can also significantly reduce your total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol and improve the ratio of bad to good cholesterol, which are all risk factors for heart disease! So… I guess that means these brownies are good for your heart hehe
